Mar Easter Sale of Dinnerware in Open Stock Patterns Dinner-set prices are still going up at the potteries but they come down here with a jolt just in time for Easter. American, English and French dinner sets, all offered at less, even though they are in patterns that we have the year round. An English maker says one Eng lish customer demanded and received a piece of open-stock china after the factory had discontinued making the pattern for 40 years. We don't promise that these sets can be renewed in 40 years, but they can be duplicated within a reasonable length of time. So if Mary breaks a cup or Tom nicks a plate, the damage is not nearly so bad as though the sets were unmatch-able.

Knowles Sets 60 pieces, special $30.70 100 pieces, special $48.71 A quaintly fluted set called the "Mayflower" decorated with 18-karat gold borders having the Greek key pattern in black.

Meier & Frank'a: Second Floor, Fifth Street Great Sale of Dining Room Tables at Savings of $8.76 to $33.00 Merchandising in a great store like Meier & Frank's is about as interesting as anything we know of. It has many, many phases. One unvarying rule of the store is that there always must be large stocks for our customers to see wide variety to please every taste and prices as low as or lower than any in the northwest.- The reduc tions on these tables are the sequel to a determined effort on our part to procure enough dining tables to meet our customers' needs during the last year. Our customary table orders were given last April. Be cause of lumber shortage and lack of skilled labor months passed without this factory being able to deliver a single table. The order was duplicated and given to a second maker with the same result of no deliveries. Finally we again repeated the order, giving it this time to a third manufacturer. Then we got deliveries from all three orders !
